Tang Hao concluded that Tang San was his reincarnated son rather than a monster, and decided to support him so he could take revenge on Spirit Hall. Kai and the Leng Family sisters prepared to rob Tang Hao and Tang San for the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring method and Tang Sect manuals.

Kai planned to use Tang Hao to settle accounts with the Clear Sky Sect, while Leng Yulai revealed that she had discovered something in Tang San's memories.

• Kai described Dugu Bo’s exact poisoning symptoms, convincing him that the visitors had genuine knowledge of his condition.
• Leng Yulai warned that Dugu Yan could inherit the same fatal poisoning, and Dugu Bo agreed to cooperate and brought them to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Kai proposed that Dugu Bo consume two plants and bathe in the lake to cure the poison, but warned that he would lose his poison arts.
• Kai suggested transferring the poison into a Soul Bone, then explained that it could fill up, was difficult to obtain, and could leave poison in Dugu Bo’s marrow.
• Dugu Bo asked for another solution and promised to repay them; Kai offered condensing a Poison Pellet or evolving Dugu Bo’s Martial Soul as further methods.

Meanwhile, Tang Hao trained Tang San and gave him a healing Soul Ring before deciding to take him and Xiao Wu away from Nuoding Academy.

• Leng Yulai and the dean discussed the rumors surrounding Tang Hao’s injury of the Pope, and the dean questioned how the Pope could have died despite Spirit Hall’s powerful healers.

• The dean of Nuoding Academy reasoned that Spirit Hall’s healing Soul Douluos should have been able to save Qian Xunji, suggesting Tang Hao’s injuries had not directly killed him.
• The chapter revealed that Bibi Dong had killed and devoured the gravely wounded Qian Xunji, while Qian Daoliu had let Tang Hao escape.
• Kai told the dean that Tang Hao had tried to take his early Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring method and make him serve Tang San, so Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai had defeated him and taken one hand and one foot.

• Kai said they needed to stop Tang Hao from attacking Xiao Wu and keep Xiao Wu from running away.

• Yu Xiaogang set out for Shrek Academy, believing Tang San could not prove the work was his, while remaining unaware that Tang San had copied it from the Bashu Tang Sect.

• Tang San persuaded the injured Tang Hao to let him investigate Nuoding Academy, and Tang Hao resolved to help his son regain godhood and restore the Clear Sky Sect.
• Tang San learned that Nuoding Academy was celebrating Yu Xiaogang's departure and heard that Yu Xiaogang had gone to Shrek Academy.

• Tang San claimed that Tang Hao was Clear Sky Douluo, but Xiao Wu mocked the claim and pointed out that Tang San had Blue Silver Grass and lived as a work-study student.

Xiao Wu rejected Tang San’s claims that he had powerful backing, and Tang San tried to win her trust by revealing that he knew she was a 100,000-year Soul Beast and offering to help her take revenge on Spirit Hall. Xiao Wu remained wary and demanded to know why she should believe him.

• Xiao Wu mocked Tang San’s claims about his backing, pointing out that he was a poor work-study student with no proof of powerful connections.
• Tang San realized he could not prove his claims, but he still refused to give up on Xiao Wu or the Soul Rings and Soul Bones he hoped to obtain from her younger brothers.
• Tang San told Xiao Wu that he knew her true identity and offered to help her take revenge on Spirit Hall, naming Bibi Dong as the one who killed her mother.
• Xiao Wu privately dismissed Tang San’s appeal to their shared Soul Beast blood and remembered that he wanted the Titan Giant Ape’s and Sky Azure Bull Python’s Soul Rings and Soul Bones.
• Xiao Wu asked Tang San what resources he had and why she should believe him.

• Tang San urged Xiao Wu to trust him and unite against Spirit Hall, but she rejected him and left.
• Leng Yulai observed Tang San and chose not to interfere yet, wary of a powerful presence that might be backing him.

• Tang Hao suggested sneaking back at night, but Tang San refused because two Titled Douluo posed too great a threat.
• Tang Hao heard Tang San's thoughts about protecting his father and preserving the Clear Sky Sect as a fighting force, then decided Tang San needed a lesson about his debt to the sect.

Tang Hao urged Tang San to stay loyal to the Clear Sky Sect, while Tang San privately resented the sect and questioned its reputation and the Clear Sky Hammer’s strength. Tang Hao heard Tang San’s thoughts but stayed silent, then told him to focus on growing stronger and said he would find him another Soul Master Academy.

• Tang San said he would try to persuade Xiao Wu to leave with them, but Tang Hao told him to stop and promised to find him another Soul Master Academy.

Yu Xiaogang planned to take Tang San's cultivation methods and Self-Created Soul Skills, claim them as his own, and use their success to regain status with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He arrived at Shrek Academy and identified himself to a guard as Flender's old friend, the last member of the Golden Iron Triangle.

• Yu Xiaogang planned to teach Tang San's techniques to Shrek's students, claim credit for them, and win recognition and an elder's position in his clan.
• Yu Xiaogang decided to modify the techniques to hide their similarities to Tang San's while continuing to seek Tang San's secrets and opportunities.

• Yu Xiaogang entered Shrek Academy at night and was stopped by an elderly man who demanded to know his identity and purpose.
• Yu Xiaogang told the guard he was Flender's friend and a member of the Golden Iron Triangle, and the guard told him to wait.

Yu Xiaogang reunited with Flender, who urged him to face Liu Erlong and stop hiding from their past. Yu Xiaogang refused, citing the scandal and the Golden Iron Triangle’s reputation, then said he had come to help Flender and prove himself.

• Li Yusong told Flender that Yu Xiaogang had arrived and asked whether he was Flender’s friend and a member of the Golden Iron Triangle.

• Yu Xiaogang said he had come to help Flender and prove himself.

Flender agreed to cooperate despite lingering doubts, while Yu Xiaogang planned to meet Erlong later and remained unaware that the techniques would bring him hatred and pursuit.

• Yu Xiaogang told Flender that his new techniques could transform Shrek Academy, restore his reputation, and even help it win the Soul Master Tournament.
• Flender questioned whether Yu Xiaogang’s promises were realistic, then examined the manuals for the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Mysterious Jade Hand, Purple Demon Eye, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon.
• Yu Xiaogang claimed he had created the techniques himself and persuaded Flender to recruit promising students to learn them.
• Flender asked Yu Xiaogang to explain the parts he did not understand, and Yu Xiaogang gave him explanations that left him vaguely uneasy.
• Flender agreed to work with Yu Xiaogang but asked whether he would visit Erlong; Yu Xiaogang deferred the matter and did not realize the techniques would later make people hate and hunt him.

Flender asked Yu Xiaogang to let Shrek Academy’s teachers practice his cultivation methods and Self-Created Soul Skills, hoping their increased strength would attract investment and elevate the academy. Yu Xiaogang agreed, and after Flender introduced the methods to Zhao Wuji and the other teachers, Zhao Wuji began to recognize Yu Xiaogang’s name.

• Flender told Yu Xiaogang that his methods could help even low-talent Soul Masters reach Soul King and asked to share them with Shrek’s teachers.
• Yu Xiaogang agreed to let the teachers practice, hoping Shrek would publicize him as a great theorist and help restore his reputation.
• Flender summoned Zhao Wuji and the other teachers to see the methods and skills.
• Zhao Wuji worried that Flender had stolen the techniques from a powerful sect, but Flender assured him that Yu Xiaogang had developed them himself.
• Zhao Wuji began recalling where he had heard Yu Xiaogang’s name and suddenly recognized it.
